Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Old Pallet Factory Diggle After over 40 years of making wooden pallets, and a major employer of the village, W.H Shaws factory closed down earlier this year after going into administration.377724

It is more than likely that the whole site just off Huddersfield Road in Diggle will be turned into a major housing development. The building with the clock tower is a Grade II listed building and any future development of the site will have to incorporate that building into there plans.

There was a huge auction at the factory on the 7th March 2007 when to name just a few of the items sold were Eight Fork Lift Trucks,Pallet Trucks, Climax 90 Sideloader, Ford Agricultural Tractor, Rolls Royce Diesel Generator, Wellman Robey Ygnis & Senior Green Gas Fired Steam Boilers, Atlas Copco Air Compressors, Pressure Washers, Welding & Fitters Shop Equipment including Mig Tig Welders, Cut Off Saws, Power Hacksaw, Drills, Degreasing Bath, Collectible Office (Partners Desk & Boardroom) Furniture & Equipment including computers, Canteen & Kitchen Equipment Three Scania Sleeper Cab Tractor Units, Leyland Daf 85 330 Shunter Tractor Unit and a Ford Transit 190 Dropside Tipper. At one time the factory even had its own buses transporting staff to and from the pallet works click on http://saddleworthbuses.fotopic.net/p34329263.html

All in all a massive loss to the local economy.
